The half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years. (Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass). 
Let A₀ be the initial amount of carbon-14 that is found in living matter (t=0 years), to determine when there was 44.5% of A₀ left.
44.5 = 100 × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives
0.5^n = 0.445
    n = log 0.445/log 0.5
    n = 1.168
But 1 half life is 5700 years
Therefore, the number of years will be 5700 × 1.168 = 6658.299725 years
≈ 6658.30 years

If an atom has 11 atomic number and 11 neutrons how many electrons are there??
Fantom [35]

Answer:

11 electrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of sodium is 11. This tells us that sodium has 11 protons and because it is neutral it has 11 electrons. The mass number of an element tells us the number of protons AND neutrons in an atom (the two particles that have a measurable mass).

A reaction that occurs in the internal combustion engine is N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g) (c) What is the significance of the different
vodomira [7]

The response would become spontaneous if the value of  ΔG° was negative.

According to the estimated value of  ΔG°, it is shown that  ΔG° value decreases as temperature value increases. The value shifts from being more favorable to being less favorable. It would appear that the value of  ΔG° would be negative at a specific temperature, causing the reaction to occur spontaneously.

The reaction is in an equilibrium state if  ΔG = 0. If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous in the direction written. The relationship between terms from the equilibrium is paralleled by the relevance of the sign of a change in the Gibbs free energy.
